If you think photogrammetry makes my work easy, think again 😉. Luckily I've got a magnifying glass with lights, so I can keep this 3rd rib under it to get the details right. Now optimizing and painting. 

But... there is an advantage in repetition: some of the bones have the same build plan. They only differ in angle or size of the details. That enables me to use the optimized version of one of them several times and adjust it according to that bone. like rib 3, 4 and 5 over here.

And here the internal position of the roots of the molars and incisor. there isn't much room to wiggle ;-) 

And in @Sketchfab without transparancy.

Rattus norvegicus jaw

Extracting the molars of the right jaw of Rattus norvegicus out of a great scan. Will need to repair a lot, but that doesn't matter! 

Almost ready to start separating them and adding the lost shapes. I loved seeing the cavity where the nerve runs through it. 

First molar is almost done (missing the cavities for the nerves) 

I just saw I made a mistake with separating it from the other molars. Ah well, working on that tomorrow

Tadaa! Now the rest: optimizing, texturing, making sure the cavity is there and more. But the rough shapes are there. 

And done for now. I didn't add the cavities yet, but first wanted to see if I'm able to paint the molars convincingly. I think I succeed. Here the movie, and here the link: https://skfb.ly/ouxyF 

Working on the jaw and the incisor. love this light! Need to add the molars to this model. Just noticed: this jaw-bone isn't complete. a small piece is missing. 

Extracting the molars

Toad. this one still needs a lot of work. But I'm rendering out for different purposes.

This Rattus norvegicus model is almost 10 years old now! I'm re-modeling it with my current skills in such a way that it will stay uptodate, but superficially it still looks great.

I think this is of an utter beauty. The octopus, Eledone cirrhosa, rendered in Marmoset.

Is er niet ergens een museum dat een geweldig goede wetenschappelijke 3d modelleur nodig heeft? En me graag wil helpen met verhuizen naar ergens rustig met een lapje grond zodat ik de mooiste en meest educatieve dingen voor ze kan maken die het museum op een hoger plan tilt? #dtv

Wat weldadige aandacht, dank jullie wel! Wil je meer zien van mijn werk, kijk op https://miekeroth.com 
En hier wat moois van van de week. Wat je ziet zijn géén illustraties maar verschillende uitingsvormen van hetzelfde 3d model!
